During times of social distancing are you racking your brains for good mum gifts? Perhaps you're pregnant and want to drop a few hints.
I've compiled my top 5 gifts to send from afar, via the wonderful world of online.
1. Don't Buy Her Flowers
The ethos behind this brand is clear - don't buy her flowers! They won't last longer than 2 weeks. Send her something much more personal and meaningful. Think posh nosh, magazines and cashmere socks. Beautifully packaged, a small business run by a mum herself. Go check it out here.
2. Posh Totty Designs
This Brighton-based small biz creates beautiful jewellery that all Mamas will love. There's so many designs, so you're spoilt for choice. And the best bit is that you can personalise them with those oh-so-special names and dates. They're dreamy.
3. Scamp & Dude
This funky brand, founded by super-inspiring Mama Jo, produces clothes for both parents and their little ones. The slogan is "A superhero has my back" follows the idea that if you need to dig deep, you can find superhero powers in yourself from these clothes and accessories. Proceeds from sales go to various charities. Watch this video to see more, and be truly inspired.
4. Take Seventeen
Did you know that an average mum has just seventeen minutes to herself everyday? Hence the name. So here you'll find some pamperping packages to help Mama spend those seventeen minutes well; candles, bath salts, face masks galore. Yes please! See more here.
5. Spacemasks
Along the lines of relaxation again, every Mama needs to know about Spacemasks. Heating up when opened, these jasmine-scented one-use eye masks, are a treat for the tired eyes, sore heads and exhausted Mamas. Guaranteed to warm your troubles away. An absolute game-changer - browse them here.
I hope you find something you like and can purchase a thing or two to help these beautiful small businesses going through this turbulent times. Let me know your favourites, and what's on your list.
Don't forget in these anxious times to practise some much needed relaxation. You can download my FREE Relaxation MP3 by following this link.

Haha Sue. I know, these are truly surreal, testing times. More reason to make that time for yourself though....
Great choices. Not sure 17 minutes is accurate during lockdown, feels like I have no time to myself :-)
